Hello James!
There are two ways to check on dining availabilities for Disneyland Resort restaurants. The first way is on the
Disneyland website for Dining. All you have to do is enter the date, time of day, and size of your party and then press Search Times. A list of available restaurants will appear, and you can make a dining reservation right then. You also can filter by location, such as either of the two theme parks, the Downtown Disney District, or the three Disneyland Resort Hotels. You can also search for a specific time of day or a generic time like breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. You can do this 60 days ahead of your Disneyland Resort vacation. My tip is to look for times outside of the regular meal times to have a higher chance of securing an Advanced Dining Reservation.
The second way to see Disneyland restaurant availability on the day of your visit to
Disneyland Park or
Disney California Adventure Park is to use the
Disneyland Mobile App. Once you download and sign into the Disneyland Mobile App, you can go to the Tip Board. If you press on the three bars (the hamburger menu) at the bottom right of the Disneyland Mobile App, you will see a box that says Tip Board. Press the Tip Board box and then press Dining, and a list of restaurant availability will show up, including mobile order availability and dining reservation availability.
I hope that your Disneyland vacation is truly incredible!
